"Cumulus is your new favorite surveillance-fueled dystopian novel. It's a future we can all recognize - and one that we should all be genuinely afraid of." -Ars Technica

In the not-so-distant future, economic inequality and persistent surveillance push Oakland to the brink of civil war.

Lilly Miyamoto is a passionate analog photographer striving to pursue an ever more distant dream. Huian Li is preeminent among the Silicon Valley elite as the founder and CEO of the pervasive tech giant Cumulus. Graham Chandler is a frustrated intelligence agent forging a new path through the halls of techno-utopian royalty. But when Huian rescues Lilly from a run-in with private security forces, it sets off a chain of events that will change their lives and the world.

The adventure accelerates into a mad dash of political intrigue, relentless ambition, and questionable salvation. Will they survive to find themselves and mend a broken system?

First-rate thriller that I wanted to go on longer

June 19, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

About the highest compliment I can pay a book is that I wanted it to be longer. I enjoyed the characters, style, and plot of Cumulus enough that it fell into the category of "page turner" for me. I liked the author's willingness to weave real social issues into the book and his acknowledgment that there just aren't simple answers.

The only aspect of the book I felt a little "eh" about was how one of the central organizations he portrays could actually end up as part of the solution (I won't spoil it by naming it). But working out the details of that conundrum would have required either another chapter, or two (more, More, MORE!), or possibly a very different setup, which could have robbed the story of one of its more interesting angles. I appreciated being intelligently engaged regardless.

I've signed up for Mr. Peper's newsletter and look forward to reading previous work and future projects.

A bit too close for comfort to today's reality

July 14, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Cumulus could easily have been a five-star book. What prevented it? Graham Chandler, the most interesting character, needed to be more fully developed. We're told that his primary goal is power. We learn, at the last, that the hunger for power wasn't always what drove him. What changed? As it is, he isn't much more than your standard evil villain. The character who failed to convince me of his good intentions was O'Livier. I don't believe that you can in any way justify selling cocaine in order to finance good deeds. Some backstory and character development might have helped, but he didn't come across as a real human being. Last, the book was a good idea that the author didn't take time to develop fully. That left me feeling that the whole thing was a bit sketchy.

A fantastic blend of forward-guessing and societal issues wrapped in a thriller.

August 5, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Eliot Peper has deftly weaved together the Oakland area, technology, and a thriller into one book: Cumulus. It was a great read and living in Oakland it was nice to know the local knowledge was authentic without being overbearing in the minutia. The characters are relatable and help the story move. It never once felt like I was waiting to move on from a chapter. Every concept Peper introduced contributed to the story. His ability to make guesses about a plausible future with tech and society helps make Cumulus an enjoyable read. I highly recommend this book and I look forward to more from Peper.

Technology isn’t the problem, it’s the human element we’ve got to look out for!

April 19, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Fast moving & exciting, this book was a quick but satisfying read. I love stories about technology and what the future holds for us. Combine that with subterfuge and lots of action, and that describes this book to a “T.” I’m definitely going to be reading more by this author.

you'll enjoy it. Far geekier than a summer blockbuster flic

January 12, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I couldn't put it down. This usually only happens with Neal Stephenson books, which this one reminds me of. He creates a compelling image of a world just a bit ahead of our own, and tells an exciting story in that world. Some characters are a little hard to believe at first, but as long as you're willing to suspend disbelief, you'll enjoy it. Far geekier than a summer blockbuster flic, and much more action packed than most sci-fi novels.

Fast paced, entertaining, personal, and deeply insightful

May 15, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I picked up Cumulus on a Tuesday and finished by Wednesday afternoon. Fast paced, entertaining, personal, and deeply insightful for anyone interested in what our near future is going to look like. It’s a near future Science fiction where about 80% of the “Fiction” is going to happen in the next 5-10 years. Not just for techies, the book also shows tremendous heart in connecting meaningfully unique characters. The Author is clearly deeply passionate about life in the San Francisco Bay area and the technology discovered/empowered in Silicon Valley. If you enjoyed Eagle eye or Minority report, this book is for you.

Engaging, fast-paced

November 13, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I really enjoyed this one. A few parts felt a little too much like a morality tale but overall it didn’t distract from the storyline. I read most of the book in one really long binge - I just couldn’t set it aside. Very plausible near-future dystopia but with enough creativity in it to surprise.

Great page-turner with engaging characters, an intriguing plot, and a beautiful mix of real-world locations and futuristic tech.

March 12, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Having grown up in the San Francisco Bay Area, I loved how this book mixed real world locations and plausible technology companies with a sci-fi vision of the potential near future, and what implications that would have for our daily lives.

The characters were well developed, the story was captivating, and the futuristic vision of the world was believable. This was a great read, and made me want to read more from Eliot Paper. (I already pre-ordered Bandwidth.) Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in technology and what can happen when we give one company too much power.
